Hello,
I'm trying to setup a dialin server under Debian Sid.  It has actually
worked at some point, but of course, now that someone actually wants to
use it, it's not working.  I can see in mgetty's logs that the connection
starts up correctly.  Here is the pertinent info:

03/05 21:53:05 yS1   calling login: cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', argv[]='pppd
auth -chap +pap login debug proxyarp'
03/05 21:53:05 ##### data dev=ttyS1, pid=4664, caller='none',
conn='26400/ARQ/V34/L
APM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd',
user='/AutoPPP/'

Here is an exerpt from /var/log/debug:

Mar  5 21:53:09 katra pppd[4664]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x0
magic=0x7bc6c5d4]
Mar  5 21:53:09 katra pppd[4664]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x0 magic=0x4b37f3]
Mar  5 21:53:12 katra pppd[4664]: rcvd [PAP AuthReq id=0x2 user="david"
password=<hidden>]

And finally an exerpt from /var/log/messages:

Mar  5 21:53:06 katra pppd[4664]: pppd 2.4.0 started by a_ppp, uid 0
Mar  5 21:53:06 katra pppd[4664]: Using interface ppp0

Mar  5 21:56:34 katra pppd[4664]: Exit.

The client is a win98 box using standard windows dial-up networking.  So
as you can see, everything connects and seems fine, except the client can
send any traffic to any box except the server.  Why would this be?  I
really need some help!
